Here’s What’s Really Going On (and How to Fix It)
It’s the kind of conversation we’ve all had in Forest Country:
You’re chatting with your neighbor at the mailbox, swapping small talk about the heat or the last thunderstorm, when they mention their electric bill.
“Mine was only $112 this month.”
You nod… and gulp. Yours was $174. Same street. Same weather.
So why are you paying more?
The Texas Electricity Market Is Like a Puzzle—And Most Folks Only See the Box Lid
Unlike some parts of the country, Texas lets us choose our electricity plan. That’s a good thing—if you know what to look for.
But most people don’t have the time to:
- Compare dozens of providers
- Decode complicated rate structures
- Read the fine print on usage fees, base charges, and intro rates
- Keep up with shifting market prices
So they stay on the same plan, even after it expires. And over time, they pay more—sometimes a lot more—than their neighbors.
We’ve Seen This All Over the Pineywoods
One family in Huntington was unknowingly rolled onto a variable plan after their fixed rate expired.
Another in Nacogdoches was being hit with a minimum usage penalty every month, even though they thought they were saving energy.
Meanwhile, the house next door had a better deal—simply because they took time to shop around… or called someone who could.
So, How Do You Catch Up?
If you’re tired of being the one paying more, the solution is simple: have someone check your bill.
And not just anyone—someone local, who knows our area and our usage patterns.
That’s where Amerigy Energy comes in.
They’re based right here in Texas and help folks across Lufkin, Nacogdoches, Diboll, and Crockett find the right plan for their home—not just the first one that pops up online.
